Monico69A DRAFTING FOR THEBrowns
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
B-
ValueB-

FutureB-
The Browns won the night they stopped Daniels from sliding. Grade: B-. You build a draft on nights like this. CJ Daniels had no business being available in the 206th overall pick, and the Browns did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Luckie left real value on the table behind him.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In slot 6 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In the 28th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at pick No. 39 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Connor Lew
Connor Lew is a better player than pick 70 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107
Rnd4
Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in the 107th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139
Rnd5
DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney in Round 5, Pick 1 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
J.C. Davis
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.C. Davis. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147
Rnd5
Keylan Rutledge
A tidy little value on Keylan Rutledge in No. 147, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206
Rnd6
CJ Daniels
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 206 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248
Rnd7
Lawson Luckie
They went early on Lawson Luckie in the 248th pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
